The road in the mountainous area is narrow. When crossing the ditch, I felt that the wheel on the right side was much lower. I quickly reversed the car and got out smoothly. Turning into the main road, the right front wheel had no tire pressure, and then the tire pressure alarm was issued. Stop the car quickly.
The tire was cut by the steel bar at the edge of the ditch. Immediately he contacted the insurance company and the rescue came quickly. It took about an hour in total. The spare tire was replaced and he could continue on the road. Immediately contacted the 4s shop. The car was picked up in Xi’an, and it was still too far to change the tires for two to three hundred kilometers. Tires are wear and tear parts. As long as the model is the same, it is actually the same everywhere. However, when I went to a friend’s tire shop, I learned that there were no tires and that they were out of stock. My friend asked me to search the Internet again, but when I checked, there was nothing on the entire Internet. The tire specification is Jiatong 228v1 215/55R17 98V. Everything else is the same on the Internet, except for a different load index. The one used on the car is 98 [load capacity of 750 kilograms], while the one used on the Internet is 94 [load capacity of 670 kilograms]. If you don’t want to mix it, you’d better continue to think of a way.
There is also Datong’s 4s store in Ankang, but the after-sales service is still under construction and it will take two months to start work. Call and try it. The manager of the Ankang store was very enthusiastic and replied that he could. He sent me the contact information of the employee responsible for after-sales and asked me to communicate directly with him. I sent him the detailed specifications of the tires. He said they were in stock and told me to order the same day and receive the goods and install them the next day. The relationship was good and I immediately paid the deposit.
After this accident, I also had a little understanding of the tire specifications. Taking my G50 as an example, I used Gitong Comfort 228V1 215/55R17 98V tires. Comfort228V1 refers to the model number, 215 refers to the tire width, 55 refers to the flatness ratio of the tire section, R17 refers to the rim diameter, 98 refers to the load index, and V refers to the speed coefficient.
The next day, I drove off Ankang and came to the Chase after-sales service that was still under construction.
On the importance of spare tires.
The tire specifications were carefully checked and they were completely consistent.
Start changing tires, remove the spare tire first.
Remove the cut tire.
Install new tires.
inflatable
2.50 It’s the tire pressure.
Do dynamic balance for the tires.
The lead block is a counterweight and is installed on the inside of the wheel hub.
Commissioning is completed and new tires are installed.
Tighten the nuts.
The spare tire returns to its original position.
From spare tires to new tires, the G50 has returned to its original appearance.
Newly replaced tires should have a higher tire pressure. The little master said that this is normal, and it will be the same after running. Okay, drive slowly and get used to it.
The mechanic worked hard. Before leaving, I left a photo of the G50 at the gate.
On the way home, I passed by Ankang Store and thought I should go and say hello to the manager, but I didn’t meet anyone. But in the lobby, I saw beautiful cars such as the D60, T60 and G50.
When many friends buy a car, they attach great importance to whether there are 4s stores in the city, because after-sales services require relatively less travel and simpler travel.
In the future, vehicles can be maintained nearby. It’s great.
